Trying to move out of my parent's house as a single mom?
I am 21 year old single parent who has a two year old girl named June :)...I'll try to keep this short and sweet! Bottom line, my parents do not like me very much. I live in their house as of now and my mom helps me tremendously because she loves and adores June very much. Most of the time, living here is fine, but sometimes living here is taking a toll on me. There are days when my parents don't even talk to me, days when they yell at me (for illegitimate and nasty things, i.e. "Why are you looking in the mirror? You can't fix ugly."), or tell me to get out (and leave June behind...) it's just a bad situation. Also, June and I share a room and I feel like she needs more space. I've been dating my boyfriend Hunter for about a year now, and he was talking about maybe getting a place together in July. I'm very serious about this guy, he loves me and it RADIATES that he loves June as if she were his. Even my family says so (although you may say they're sort of invalid...),,, I'm still hesitant though. I am going to school every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9-1 Hunter works 9-6 M-F, I'm sure my mom will be upset if I tell her that I'm leaving (she'll feel like I'm taking the baby away from her) so I think if I asked her to watch June those three times a week she would be happy. But I was thinking maybe June could spend the night at my parent's house Sunday night, Tuesday night, and Thursday night so that I didn't have to wake her up at 6 to take her over there before school? Am I doing the right thing? Does anyone have any advice for this stuff?
If my parents want to move, but I don't, can I just move in with some of my friends?
If you’re 18+ years old, then yes.If it’s not OK with your parents, you’re a runaway, and the police will collect you and give you back to your parents. Yeah, you can run away over and over again, and eventually your parents will probably give up, but if you don’t have a place to stay, living on the streets will become tedious very quickly.If it is OK with your parents, and OK with whoever is supporting your friend, then yes, but...Your friend no doubt thinks it would be a great idea for you to move in. But your friend (unless they are living as an independent adult) doesn’t really get a vote. It’s your friend’s parents, the ones who will actually be paying for your upkeep, that get to say yes or no.Your friend’s parents will have rules for you to follow, just as your parents do/did. I’m guessing that if you are ready to abandon your parents, you don’t like following rules very well. If this is the case, consider that your friend’s folks have no responsibility to keep you, even if they initially agree to house you. You may find yourself alone on the street, without parents, without friends’ parents. Theoretically, your parents are responsible for your upkeep until you are 18. If you want to go into foster care before then, you can tag your parents with the cost of your foster care, which is less than what it actually cost them to keep you when you lived at home. But you can’t, in fact, make them take you back.It happens that my wife and I have taken in friends of our children on two occasions. We housed one girl for over a year, and one boy for six weeks. The girl was unable to live within a few simple rules (no illegal activity, no violence, tell us where you’re going and when you’ll be back, prepare yourself to live independently or finish school) and we had to cut her loose. The boy was staying short-term after loosing his crappy shared apartment, and healing from an injury, but he still had habits that were problematic, and we had to encourage him to leave once he was healed.The net result of this analysis is that your wish is a fantasy fraught with danger, and is the very last thing you should consider.
Am trying to move out from parents house help?
Agh I gotta move out I am 20 yrs old and I am getting a little bit tired of all the rules I have to live by!! I love my parents bunchs and bunches but they treat me like a little kid curfews, etc! They even tell me what people not to talk to and I have to get their okay to have certain people as friends! I no I sound like a brat complaining like that but oh well... How should I go about telling my parents I am gonna move out?? They are the type of parents to think that I am leaving because I don't love them anymore. They say things like if I were to move off they are gonna cut me off from them!....??? All I want is my on place. I wanna leave on good terms not bad, BUT i know if I say I am gonna move out they are gonna be so ticked! They tell me move out and get really ticked when I try to get my own place. My parents are kinda of control freaks.... they have to know what I am doing every single second of the day. I feel like I am living two different lives one with my parents and one out in the world. I am not even a bad. Don't drink, don't party, etc. How do I break it to them?? I have a job and I am more than capable of moving out on my own. How should I phrase it and how should I react when (or if) they freak?? Need some help Y!A peeps!
When should a child move out of their parents’ house?
By answering this question I’m gonna assume your between the age of 18–25?I believe there is stigma in America for moving out at 18. False.You should move out of your parents house when you feel ready to move out.But that’s the tough part.When you feel ready doesn’t mean waiting till 36 and feeling like now is the good time. Feeling ready is when you have some-what of a stable income and can provide for yourself (for the most part).Moving out when you feel ready does not mean leaving when you have a long period of feeling comfortable. I suggest leaving home the moment before you begin getting too comfortable.I personally believe the sooner you can financially leave the better for two particular reasons:You’ll learn to become more independent.You’ll taste the real-world and be consumed by daily challenges.My kids technically moved out at age 17/18 for college, but they moved back in after school and stayed still they were between 22 to 26 (I have 5 kids).My husband and I didn’t put any pressure on them, but we made sure they found a job, and started saving some sort of income so that when they were ready to move on, they’d be able to.BUT…If your not going to college and simply want to “grind” and work 24/7, you get a long with your parents, and you don’t feel restricted living at home, then by all means, stay at home till when ever.You’ll save a TON of money that you could be spending on more important things, like your first house!Once you have a sufficient amount of income saved, rent an apartment. This could be at age 23 or even 27. It all depends on the situation.
Poll: I don't want to move out of my parent's house, is this bad or good?
For 18 it's not bad at all, it's actually better that you remain in your parents house. There's totally nothing wrong staying home at 18. At 18, you haven't sufficiently matured yet, you're not 100% looked after in life. You have a whole life ahead of you still, just remember that. I mean I'm 29, still live with my mother since I'm still haven't got my life straightened and it's not easy even for myself, especially in the finances. A lot of my friends from grade school may be more financially secure, have more stable careers, more success than myself and maybe already married (have a family of their own with some), but I'm working on that. While I'm working on that, I'm basically working part time to support my future education, even if it does mean I have to drive a cab just to get the extra green.
My parents don't let me live my life and I am 23 years old. What should I do?
As others have said, you put yourself in this very undesirable situation because by being financially dependent on your parents at an age when a young adult should be providing for himself, you have aided and abetted your parents in making you their hostage, and keeping you as such. You've never had a job before? Well, there's a first time for everything and you are long overdue on this important step. Get out there to look for a job that will earn you enough income to be self-supporting. If you are unwilling or unable to do this, or if you'd rather make excuses for why you can't than to try, you will probable be stuck where you are, completely dependent on people who see you as a child in dire need of their constant supervision and suffocating rules.The choice is yours.
My parent wants me to join the Navy, but I don't want to. How can I get disqualified at the MEPS?
Easy, refuse to sign the paperwork or digital signatures required of you to pass MEPS, including contracts, health test reports, ect. Just keep refusing. They will pay for your ride home and you're done. Or refuse to take the oath of service. However, if you tough it out and do your time honorably, it will benefit you for the rest of your life. You will make connections, friends that will last forever, maybe even your future wife / husband. I say give it a shot. Its only 4 years. It goes by so fast in the span of life that its really insignificant. Thats the best advice i can give you. If you do decide to go, when you get to basic, remember these 3 things and you will be fine. 1- DO NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO IT, AND I DO MEAN ANYTHING. 2- PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND FOLLOW ORDERS TO THE WORD. 3- REMEMBER THAT YOUR PETTY OFFICERS & CHIEF DO NOT HATE YOU, THEY SIMPLY WANT TO MAKE YOU READY TO JOIN THE FLEET AND BE SUCCESSFUL IN YOUR NAVAL CAREER. Best of luck to you. …Anchor's Aweigh my boy! You'll know what i mean lol.
